Description

Every state assesses tax on service income. Some states tax services rendered to tangible or real property, some tax recreational services, and some tax business services. Recently, Maryland has proposed to tax additional services, including accounting, auto repair, funeral, and other professional services.

Deciding how to classify services properly is difficult. Distinguishing between tangible and real property services and tangible and intangible property services, as well as calculating taxability of bundled and mixed transactions, is problematic. Every state's guidelines for taxing digital goods and services vary. Still, states are stepping up sales tax audits, and penalties charged for misclassifications and failure to remit these taxes can be severe. SALT practitioners and businesses need to understand how states impose tax on services.

Listen as Michael T. (Mike) Dillon, President at Dillon Tax Consulting, examines how states tax services and how to determine the taxability of services in specific states.
